There was a recent UN ad competition - Say no to violence against women. Trine Sejthen from Denmark took the top prize for her work - Violence is not always visible (below).
This is something close to heart, being a woman.
Off hand, I recall a couple of friends physically abused by their boyfriends. Although they have left their abusers, it was after much suffering and an awakening that this was not how they should be treated. It made me realise that might be many more girls in their plight and not knowing what to do.
At the time when they were hit, they must have thought it was an accident, believing it will not happen again.
Ladies,
You know there is no excuse.
Once is warning enough
Ring the bell.
Talk to someone
Run while you can.
Everyone,
Spread the word
Stop violence against women and girls.
